system that is installed and maintained by a security alarm operator

properly licensed pursuant to article six-D of this chapter. Standards

for such security alarm systems shall be established by the

superintendent in regulation. Such security alarm systems may be

developed by a federal or state agency, a not-for-profit organization,

or another entity specializing in security alarm standards approved by

the superintendent for the purposes of this act. The security alarm

system shall be capable of being monitored by a central station, and

shall provide, at a minimum, complete protection and monitoring for all

accessible openings, and partial motion and sound detection at certain

other areas of the premises. The dealer location shall additionally be

equipped with a video recording device at each point of sale and each

entrance and exit to the premises, which shall be recorded from both the

indoor and outdoor vantage point and shall maintain such recordings for

a period of not less than two years.
